Dear forum members,
For us, things are now gradually getting "serious."
The plans for submitting the building permit / planning permission application are basically finalized.
The goal was to create an "affordable" city villa with a garage and an office featuring a separate entrance due to occasional client visits.
What do you think?
What positives and negatives do you see in the floor plan?

The shower in the bathroom needs to be "longer," since it should be walk-in without a door

do you really need an additional study room on the upper floor besides the office area? Otherwise, you could designate this study as the bathroom and turn the current bathroom into a dressing room....

Marvinius27 Nov 2016 12:09The kitchen is too far from the entrance. This results in long carrying distances after shopping.....
The site plan would also be interesting regarding parking spaces. So far, I only see space for one car in the garage.
How many parking spaces do you need to provide? Especially if a dedicated office with client visits is planned?
In our area, the requirement is two parking spaces per single-family house, while some municipalities accept 1.5 parking spaces. However, if an office with customer traffic is planned, the requirements can be even higher.
Also, I agree with the previous commenters: I really don’t like the hallway on the ground floor. It already starts with the entrance area: that short wall between the main entrance and the stairs to the office. It will be tight and not very practical. It would be better to plan a shared, larger entrance and, if necessary, separate the office stairway with frosted (or milk) glass. This will avoid wasting space on an additional door between the staircase and the entrance area. At least, do without this connection door; you can enter the house directly upstairs, and the clients don’t have to.
I don’t necessarily find the living room too small or narrow. It depends on what you plan to do there. We really just sit on the couch, read, or watch TV. I don’t need much space for that. Space for children to play is in front of the stove (although I belong to the older generation that thinks kids should have their own playroom and the living room shouldn’t always be turned into a toy storage area... but that’s another topic).
But the narrow hallway with the hidden stairs—I don’t like that at all. It can definitely be designed better, so that a “living feeling” arises right at the entrance. This reminds me more of long corridors in a prison. It will also be dark there.
Maybe skip the “cloakroom” and make the stairs open, as mentioned before, remove the door to the office stairs, and completely redesign the entrance area.
